Will KDE 6.1 Work?
Hearing the announcement that KDE 6 would be released with Fedora 40 was exciting, but my excitement was short-lived
I tried a bunch of desktop environments, even the very early releases of the current desktop environments or the ones that popped up but couldn’t survive too long, like Unity (it is still active, by the way). During work time, I am mostly on the terminal. Still, after that, I would like to use a proper desktop environment, and choosing an appropriate desktop environment is the most problematic part of the Linux world. I also tried tiling window managers (specifically i3), but I don’t want to go in this direction after nearly all-day-long terminal screens. Believe it or not, I want a proper, eye-relaxed, functional desktop environment.
I was a big fan of GNOME in the early times because they were delivering what it needed to be there. After a while, I didn’t remember precisely which version (the year was 2011) they tried to be innovative, but it didn’t feel good. For example, you do not have desktop icons. There can be options for this, but you cannot try to force it. Ubuntu is modifying features like desktop icons, but the default or stock GNOME no longer has them. If you are editing the default or stock GNOME, you are becoming late for the latest release, and it happens all the time in Ubuntu.
